The laboratory at Eastern Illinois University’s Medical Clinic is located on the first floor of the Human Services Building in the South Quad. The lab is staffed by full-time certified medical technologists and phlebotomists.
A wide variety of lab tests are performed at EIU Medical Clinic Laboratory. Some specimens collected on-site at the lab are sent off-campus for testing. Physicians not employed by EIU Medical Clinic may order lab tests. Your medical provider at home may also order lab tests to be done at the Medical Clinic Laboratory.
All outside orders for lab tests must be written on a prescription pad printed with the physician's name, address, phone number and fax number. All outside orders must be signed by the ordering physician. There is a small fee associated with lab tests ordered by the Medical Clinic providers and any outside lab order.
Most laboratory results are available in 24 hours. All laboratory results for student patients of legal adult age are confidential. No one, including parents, may obtain test results without written consent from the patient.
In-house laboratory tests are performed at a minimal expense to students. Laboratory services are primarily supplemented by the Health Services student fee. Tests sent to the reference laboratory are not covered and the student will be charged a nominal fee that covers the cost of the testing. Students may pay for laboratory services not covered by the Health Services fee via cash or billed to the student’s university account.
